Sura 14
Aya 6
6
وَإِذ قالَ موسىٰ لِقَومِهِ اذكُروا نِعمَةَ اللَّهِ عَلَيكُم إِذ أَنجاكُم مِن آلِ فِرعَونَ يَسومونَكُم سوءَ العَذابِ وَيُذَبِّحونَ أَبناءَكُم وَيَستَحيونَ نِساءَكُم ۚ وَفي ذٰلِكُم بَلاءٌ مِن رَبِّكُم عَظيمٌ

Yusuf Ali

Remember! Moses said to his people: “Call to mind the favour of God to you when He delivered you1 from the people of Pharaoh: they set you hard tasks and punishments, slaughtered your sons, and let your women-folk live: therein was a tremendous trial from your Lord.”
  • Cf. 2:49. The reference back to Israel and Moses serves a double purpose-as an appeal to the People of the Book, and as a reminder to Quraish of the favour now conferred on them by the coming among them of a greater Prophet than Moses.
